How is the Kremlin viewing the NATO summit? | DW News

It's been 75 years since the US, Canada, and Western European countries forged an alliance to defend themselves against the Soviet Union during the Cold War. What began with just 12 members has now grown to an alliance of 32 nations.
The challenges facing them are many. Some old, some new. Supplying Ukraine with what it needs to fight off Russia's invasion is on top of the agenda. But now it's not alone. And the geographic focus has also shifted. Leaders want to push back against Russia, China, North Korea and Iran in the Indo-Pacific region.

USA support is not unconditional.... there are conditions regarding use of weapons given to UKRAINE which are too strict.

[@user-xm6zs6ez6i]

The million-dollar question is: what will NATO do if, for example, Ukrainians hit a Russian city with a British missile and kill several civilians, and Russia retaliates by launching a missile attack on London, which supplied missiles to Ukrainians? Before answering, dear ones, remember that the Russians have a whole list of modern nuclear missiles that no one in NATO has: Sarmat, Poplar m, Poseidon, Mace. PS while writing the answer, do not forget to put on diapers.

Excuse me but stating that "...following Moscow's first illegal land grab of Crimea in 2014, Kiev sought to join the western military alliance for greater protection..." is not true. Why are you projecting a different image? Ever since 2008's NATO summit Ukraine was offered an invitation. Offered.

NATO: Pledges and more pledges and nothing more. Europe cant even defend Europe against Russia Iran China North Korea and India. Ukraine cant fight with its one hand tied on its back. What a shame!

[@jai4096]

Who has tied Ukraines hand? Ukraine doesn't have its own ammunition, manpower nor economy to fight a war. It is completely dependent on EU, USA and NATO to fight its own battle. No country can win a war by begging. One has to fight its own battle with its own resources. Just like Azerbaijan and Armania did.. Didn't Armania give its land to Azerbaijan.. where was the world and its value system at that time. Didn't that war end? NATO has no interest in fighting Ukraines war, its only aim is to reduce Russian ammunition, power and economy. Which they are achieving. Its going to be a long war for atleast next few decades. hope doesn't have to end with a nuclear war.

[@duhni4551]

Issue is that the key Western leaders doesn't have balls to arm Ukraine properly. There is a reason why most of the West hasn't given Ukraine modern weaponry, most of it has been surplus systems. They fear the tech. leaking to Russia and China. Things have began to change in that regard though, i guess they are starting to wake up.

[@user-xm6zs6ez6i]

You're missing an important detail. For Russia, this special operation looks like this: there are two players, but behind one player's back he looks at the cards and passes them to the other. Russia has no right to shoot down US satellites because it is not at war with the United States openly, but the United States merges all data from these satellites. It's not a fair game, but even in a game where the movements of Russian soldiers are openly monitored, where 50 countries support one of the sides, you still can't liberate even the smallest village. Question: what are you capable of?. But such information is inconvenient for you) Since you are not capable of anything, you are weak, that's why you start making up stories that you are not helping Ukraine much, that there is supposedly someone who prevents you from helping. You look pathetic)

The Point of NATO Is Peace, Not Endless War | Opinion by Viktor Orban, PM of Hungary. "It is worth remembering that the most successful military alliance in world history started as a peace project, and its future success depends on its ability to maintain peace. But today, instead of peace, the agenda is the pursuit of war; instead of defense it is offense"

[@maghambor]

Don't be silly. The focus is war because Russia is waging a war in Europe. If Russia stops its attacks on Ukraine and return home, the war would be over and NATO can once again focus on war.

@@kaiserhhaie841 Judging by your questions, you don't have any information at all. 1. When the Russians were near Kiev, Zelensky agreed to negotiations, Putin responded by withdrawing troops. This is a well-known fact called the Turkish peace talks. The Russian troops withdrew and Zelensky refused to negotiate, deceived. He is no longer a legitimate president (you are for democracy). 2. Why move the front so much if this is not a war, but a military operation aimed at forcing Kiev to make concessions? Moving the front is equal to risking your soldiers (you won't seriously tell me now about the heavy losses of Russians, did you refer to the Ukrainian data?). Thus, to move the front strongly means to incur losses, and to take on the provision of large cities, which is not profitable now. PS every Russian child can play chess. It was the Russians who first sent a man into space, came up with a lot of physical and mathematical constants, so they know how to conduct a strategy.
